To: ham-ant@ucsd.edu I want to increment the recception of my cellular phone. I have a house on the beach, and there I can't receive the cell service, but 500 meters near to the cell center, The signal is good. I don't have any montain or big buildings between the cell center and the house. How can I increment the recception of my phone. Can I build a special antenna or probably buy a antenna amplifier to UHF?. How can I connect that to the phone? All the answers are welcomed!. Please!.

Let's : see... a dipole is nominally 75 ohms. Take a look in the _ARRL Antenna Book_, 16th edition on page 16-27. It describes a top loaded antenna for 2m consisting of 5-1/2 turns around a 1/2 in. form, a 2" diameter capacitance hat 3" up from that, and then soldered into a connector, with the inductor 4" above the top of the connector. They used brazing rod, a piece of PC board, and a BNC connector, but I used #12 solid copper wire, .005" brass sheet, and soldered it into a UHF connector, then filled the rest of the connector with bath tub cauking. Sitting in a class room with no windows, and tuning to a repeater 25 miles away, I could just hear the repeater output with the squelch turned all the way down with a rubber duck. With this antenna, the meter on the HT said S7, and I could get into the repeater on one watt out. I looks a little funny, but is small and it works. I origionally built this antenna for Railroad Mobile operation, and it works well for that as well. 73 de Tim -- Tim Rumph Concord, NC tarumph@cybernetics.net tarumph@mosaic.uncc.edu (until May, FINALLY) kd4ows@wb4kdf.#gas.nc.usa.na (non-hams: don't try to use this on the Internet) ------------------------------ Date: 20 Mar 94 03:53:57 GMT From: agate!howland.reston.ans.net!usc!sdd.hp.com!saimiri.primate.wisc.edu!aplcenmp!aurora.jhuapl.edu!jeg@ucbvax.berkeley.edu Subject: Sexual Sin and Christian To: ham-ant@ucsd.edu In your-userid@node-name (Christian Sin) writes: >The Christian Bible never work because it is not from God. >In article , acarpent@osprey.ess.harris.com >(Alan Carpenter) >wrote (according to the christian Bible): >> 1.
